“Frisk him,” Rose confirms.
Their men don’t react until Theodore nods in approval.
“Just a pocket knife, Miss Gloxinia.”
“And a crappy one at that. Cosmos! I’ve seen sharper forks in the dollar store, what was your plan? To stab me or to tickle me?”
Rose hums. “I know that look of hatred. Now, question is, what did I do to earn it? Was it the last of the ice cubes in the cafeteria’s drink machine? Or the last chocolate chip cookie purchase before night classes?”
“You think someone’s stalking you for a cookie?” Jax asks incredulously.
“You’ve seen how much ruin a ruined cheesecake can bring. College students are sleep deprived, highly caffeinated, under constant pressure from both peers and family alike, and stressed. Snatching away someone’s blood sugar and dopamine hit?”
To her surprise, Theodore snorts, a trace of genuine amusement making Rose warm in a way she can’t afford to dig into at the moment. Bigger fish to fry.
“I’ve been there. I can see how a revenge plot can form from a cookie shortage.”
“When you’re done with him, are you,” Rose hesitates. “Are you going to…”
Theodore chuckles and in an exaggerated accent, he says, “What? Make ‘im dissapear? Give ‘im a pair of cement boots and send ‘im sleepin’ with the fishes?”
Rose cringes. “That what you think us city folk sound like?”
Theodore shoots her a smile over his shoulder, a real one.
